1021  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Trust in cryptocurrency? on: March 15, 2023, 01:38:05 PM
Recently, I've been wondering, and based on the people I live with, I'd say that only 20% of them know what cryptocurrency is.
Sometimes I ask my friend or colleague if he knows what Bitcoin is, and if they're young (20-35 years old), they say, "Yes, I've heard about it. But I don't know much about it."
If I'm talking to older people (40–60), mostly they don't know what it is.

We are living in a world of big changes in every aspect of life. But do you think it will be time when cryptocurrency will come into our lives and be normal for all people? Will people be able to trust crypto?

I'm wondering what your opinion is about this.
20% is already a nice number and I think many countries has a percentage which is lesser than that but as time goes by these numbers will just increase though we can do something to fasten it and that is by educating the people around us about Bitcoin and then using Bitcoin as one of the payment methods if we have a business. We can post banners, stickers or something else which makes them aware that our shop is Bitcoin friendly.

It is possible that the majority of people will have a trust in crypto and make this as a part of their daily lives but there are still people who will prefer to use the old fiat system because this is where they are comfortable at. We shall only respect their decision.

Brighton should win tomorrow against Crystal Palace and this is a great opportunity for them to climb in the ranking and they have played only 24 games meaning they have 2 games in total to get to 26 like all other teams,this can give them the possibility for a chance to be in the last European competition spot and this would be a huge achievement for Brighton to be in a European competition next year.I think that is the exact reason why the bookies have given them a very low odd of 1.47 now speaking as up to tomorrow night it may fall down as an odd,exactly for them expecting Brighton to be fighting hard to get in the last European spot.It will be difficult but not impossible.
There is no doubt about Brighton performance, but I have been feeling their chances are not bright as you are having because I check their remaining schedule, and it's not easy with many matches against the top teams which are mostly going to play on road which are not easy for them and now Newcastle United is also having positive result which is good sign for them after few poor weeks and Liverpool is also unpredictable with they are also looking for their chances this all makes this difficult for them because they are still not good for having positive results against top teams like Manchester City and Arsenal.

Brighton's start was amazing but suddenly after exit of Graham Potter they were poor for many weeks which is surely going to have big problem for them if they have no this difference then surely I also have strong feeling for their chances into top six spots.
1023  Economy / Economics / Re: Poor and Rich on: March 14, 2023, 08:06:10 PM
We all know the quote "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer" I heard this quote when I was in high school now I'm grown up. I always wondering why?
Because rich is in a good position already and what they just have to do is continue what they're doing and that is to increase their assets. They can invest large amount and let it sleep for long period to be a huge gainer but still financially stable to provide for their daily needs.

While poor is struggling to survive and even they want to invest some of their money, their position is hindering them to do so because they have to attend for the needs first and usually the income is not sufficient resulting to debt in order to survive. The reason why if you're not wise and hardworking, you don't have a chance to change what you used to. It's not impossible to become rich but that depends on your skills and strategy to achieve that goal.
I also heard a saying that in order to make money you also need a money and the more money you put in, the more the money that you can pull out. Rich people already have that but the poor? No not really and like you said if ever they have something, they need to prioritize the important one first and that is to buy food and pay the bills. They can't just afford to risk this on something that is still not guaranteed because if they can lose it, it will be a double problem for them.

Also, investments does not make you rich over night but it takes a lot of time. Now if you are poor, you are always in need of money and there is a big chance that you will pull out your investments before it bears you profits.
1024  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: A new fan token to make your dreams come true! on: March 14, 2023, 06:38:30 PM
creations of token needs time as well as intelligence and you do it so I think that you can do anything and make your life easy. You are student so you have to first complete your education but if you cannot afford it then it is necessary that you should do part time job and from that income you will manage your study. Participating in bounty requires your hard work and you are hardworking so you can also earn money through this way. If you have a little bit amount of money then invest in Bitcoin you will necessarily increase your profit by doing so.
Nowadays, almost anyone now can create their own token easily or instantly. Those people with less knowledge can also have their own tokens too. All they need is some capital or money on hand. Having this kind of skill (token creating) doesn't mean that we can now do other things in our life in a much easier way because not all of those things got our interest.

Learning and acceptance will still be required to be able to succeed on them. It would be better for the OP to finish his studies first. Not only that this will help him to focus more on it but also he is still under age. He only is only 17 years old and may not be possible to be accepted if he apply on jobs outside.
1025  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will Doge really go to the moon? on: March 14, 2023, 06:05:39 PM
but I'm no longer sure about Shiba, I see Shiba Inu as playing with all its holders, besides that I see Shiba Inu as needing investors who have the most wealth like Elon Musk, without any tweets from Elon Musk then this Shiba doesn't mean anything. well, thus in my opinion the shiba inu is not worth holding for a long time
It is the same with altcoins that have no intrinsic market making capability, those which are not regularly shilles by celebs and so on, they die out a slow painful death for its investors. You can see some minor pumps from time to time but mostly they will remain low.

Here again comes in the reality. Coins like DOGE have a good base of users but th lacking is in development and introducing POS machines based on doge.

Use the coins, dammit, use it regularly and then see it's demand rise yourself.
Shiba is the same with Doge because both of them are meme coins but I think Shiba has more potential because it is more complex than just a payment system that what doge currently have. No wonder why the coin have survived up until now.

There are alts like you said with no intrinsic value and worse is they don't get any support from the big guys and to the community so they will just die down quickly. If there are some who can manage to pump a little, this wasn't worth the risk because we can get trapped on them. Never heard of that POS machine you're talking about but this seems interesting and could fit great on Doge. Maybe this is one of the things that could make the coin fly to the moon.
1026  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What kind of project we shall look into to prepare for the next bull?? on: March 13, 2023, 09:22:24 PM
Staking is good. When the bull is back you can have extra profit and average down the losses. But how do you identify if the coin or project is still legit
I think its quite simple you really need to dig deeper on the project scope and their objective. I am into long term new projects like avalanche and been doing some staking and earning while still holding and yet some other L1 and other old projects like cosmos and evmos. You really need to study first before venturing on these altcoins cause some might fuck up like what happened on Luna.
Yes, that's because it's simple for any project to promise and say something good so if one is lazy to dig more, they will only be one of the many victim of that project. By digging deeper we can easily tell if the project is only lying but the truth is they are actually a scam. You said you are into new projects but avalanche is not a new project anymore. It was once a popular project before but I heard some negative comments about them.

I am not aware if those were cleared out already and they are back in the game again. Cosmos is also an old project but you may depend on it than that evmos. They only sound the same but I haven't heard of it before.
1027  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Being drunk while trading what was your experience on: March 13, 2023, 08:53:53 PM
This is one of my ground rules: I never trade or bet while I'm drinking. The reason is quite simple, when I drink I lose focus, I become more relaxed, and in trading you need to be very careful, every decision must be considered.

It seems to me that this concerns responsibility, if we are talking about big money, then you need to behave accordingly. And if you allow yourself to drink while trading, then it seems to me that this shows a person’s attitude towards this business.
There was a famous saying "never drink and drive" because it can lead to dangers. That wasn't only limited to driving of course but we can also apply that on other aspects of our life. When we drink, we will get dizzy and we can not think properly but it helps people to become more confident so if you trade and bet, there is a chance that you will increase the amount that you are placing.

We are lucky if the outcome is positive because we can also end up with a huge profit but still, you may not want to stop there and you can still bust all your capital at the end. There must be a perfect time to drink and it should not be mixed with other important activities.
1028  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will (probably) go lower. on: March 12, 2023, 01:51:15 PM
many people talk, and when they have the opportunity to buy cheap, they don't do it. I am taking the opportunity to accumulate at the moment. I don't care if it goes down a little more and as I have said in other speculation threads, I don't expect big rises for 2023, although I would expect that by the end of the year we will close with a higher price than in 2022, which is not difficult, but until then there is a lot of volatility ahead of us, especially as things are in general in the economy.

I don't look at what will happen to the price in the next few months, but over the next few years, and what I see happening is that we will look back and see that 20,000 was a very cheap price. So the best thing to do is to accumulate at these levels.
That's because it's easy to talk than to do an action. If we are truly committed with one thing, we must show it by doing an action with less or no talking at all. At the moment the price is still down even after a little recovery. Your decision of buying is great. The market is giving us another chance or one last chance before we finally see the bull run.

We can't control the price with our action so how much more by voice alone? You can say that there are no increases this year but it can still possibly happen but no worries because you are well prepared already. Volatilities are always there because they are the nature of cryptos but we can use this as our advantage.
1029  Economy / Economics / Re: Try to save money while you still can, will you ? on: March 11, 2023, 06:23:23 PM
There is a wise saying that we save money, so that money can save us later.
First, it's a shameful thing to work in a company for decades without brig able to save a dime, it's really not a good way to live our lives, even a bachelor needs to have savings, before we begin talking of family men and women.

It is important to save, no matter how small our earning is, is better to save small, than not having a saving at all.
Yes, you are right, if you look at the past I also feel ashamed where when I worked a few years ago I didn't have a penny saved, and when I quit the company I really didn't have anything. But I don't regret it, because I got a very valuable lesson from that experience. Yes now I live a better life again, I save, I invest too.
It's true what many people say, that experience will make us even better and I really feel it myself. Maybe it depends on the person too, because there are people who don't learn from experience, and I think that's really stupid.
No don't feel bad for your self because there must be a reason on why you can't save. Sometimes our job is paying low and then we have lots of expenses to pay. What was the nature of job before? Was it a job outside? Now that you are here in the forum and you have applied for a sig campaign, it should give you an extra money alongside with the salary that you earn on your job.

This must be the time that you can save up. Not all experiences are bad. If some people can't seem to learn and grow, maybe they are already contented with what they currently have? But for others who think something is not right, they need to correct their life.
1030  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Experience on Bitcoin on: March 11, 2023, 09:19:23 AM
I was late to invest in bitcoin in the past years but that's okay because even if people decide to invest in bitcoin now, you are not too late and still have time to get started.

We regret it but must try to start while we still have time. We can't turn back the clock and can only use this moment and try to own more bitcoins before the price increases again. And now we are being given another moment to buy bitcoins as the price drops deeper than yesterday. So take advantage of the opportunities that exist, and do not despair.
Great that you accept it while many people I see are regretting too much. They didn't realize that there are people who are much later than them. I think as long as Bitcoin still have some supply left, its value can still pump in to a different level that none of us can't imagine.

We can start buying and Hodling Bitcoin today even if its price isn't that cheap enough because we are sure that we can still earn a profit in the future. If someone thinks it's high enough. They can still invest in smaller portions. There are much cheaper alternatives in Bitcoin, namely altcoins and tokens but I do not really advise them. Yes they are cheap but the question is if they can last longer like Bitcoin.
1031  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Share your Crypto experience. on: March 10, 2023, 05:19:48 PM
familiarity with cryptocurrencies, specifically trading Given that I prefer investing over trading, I'm still relatively unskilled. I don't trade much, so I don't have a specific approach, but of course I am aware of the proper procedure. Although I don't like trading right now, I never know whether I'll do it again. I'll ensure that I've learned a lot before I get started.
So if you prefer investing over trading, why you must familiarize yourself more with trading when both acts are different? Trading is not simple and you can only waste your time if you won't engage on it after you master it. It is okay to be unskilled in investing because you will mostly do nothing here right after you buy the coins you think will have a great future. Picking coins isn't that hard as well because there are guides on different websites if what coins are best depending on our preference if we want either short or long-term.

@OP, no you did not enter on a wrong time but it was actually a perfect timing because last year was the start of the bear market but in fairness you acted mature enough as a newbie in cryptos. Just continue what you are planning and you will survive this bear with a profit in your hands.
1032  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Advantage of holding Bitcoin in time of crisis on: March 10, 2023, 03:33:42 PM
If the Nigerian government observe the impact of Bitcoin as negative and wants to turn the public against Bitcoin, it could be a big mistake for that government. Because it is a decentralized system that any government can not control it but it would be better for that government to take good initiative to control it. As we have seen it happened in India. India is said to be a potential country for cryptocurrency. The government initially strongly opposed it, but later allowed its use. The Nigerian government should also consider how to regulate its positive sites. It should be remembered that the demand for bitcoins is constantly increasing worldwide, so no decision should be taken that people reject.
The mistake is on the people who use Bitcoin because they use it wrongly and not with their government because it is only observing them. If only those people use Bitcoin the right way, Bitcoin on their country won't be banned.

If you are on the same position of their government. Will you let your people lose money and do illegal things with Bitcoin? If you are careless and also do illegal things, yes but if I am the government I will educate my people the right way of using Bitcoin. I will gave them a second chance in short but if they repeat the same mistakes again, I will be forced to permanently ban Bitcoin in my country for good.
1033  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: In the best interest of investors, Bounties shouldn't be paid in Tokens on: March 09, 2023, 08:50:16 PM
It was a great idea if the goal of the owner is to keep his token success because mostly the dump happens when the bounty hunters received their token and all of them start selling and they don't care of what will happen to the project. Though the problem really is the cost paying on it like others dont have really enough budget to pay those bounty hunters that is why they are going to pay then via their own token. I seen couple of bounties before that pays in USDT but still bounties is really paid by their own tokens
I don't think all BH are selling their coins once the bounty is over. Some of them are also like us who knows how to hold a coin in order to maximize their profits however if they think that the bounty is a scam or weak to last longer, there is no point of holding the tokens.

Dumping is part on how this market works so a project owner should not be worried about that. Even if they don't conduct a bounty campaign, there is still a possibility that some investors will dump coins for the same reason I said above or if they need an emergency money. A good project will always find its way to recover so they must not worry if they knew that they have created one.
1034  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you feel selling your BTC against your plans? on: March 09, 2023, 08:18:49 PM
If you regret selling your bitcoin, remember that there was someone who sold their 30 BTC for drugs on Silk Road way back in 2012[1]. That wasn't even an emergency in the first place; it was just a craving for someone who wanted to have a little adventure on their own Grin.

Kidding aside, if you don't have a choice but to sell, move on already and start accumulating or DCA'ing again instead of feeling sorry for yourself due to an uncontrollable situation. Whatever happens, happens.
There is no need to regret selling our Bitcoins because I believe that we did that on purpose and if not then we still have our Bitcoins with us but what's the point of doing this? That's an interesting story you got there but drug addicts are always in need of drugs so what they did there was still considered as an emergency. Before we invest in Bitcoin we are always advised to not put our eggs in one basket.

Other than diversifying this could also mean that we should not put our whole wealth in it so that whenever there is an emergency, we still have a cash in our pockets and this is the one that we are going to use and not the Bitcoins that are inside our Bitcoin wallets.

Auxerre vs Rennes

This week's match will be very interesting because both teams have strong goals to move up the standings. We know Auxerre, who in the previous few matches appeared very impressive and little by little they have hope to leave the relegation zone this season. For Rennes they need this win to close the gap from the top 4 and of course he wants to keep away from Lille's pursuit. In the betting exchange it is clear that Rennes will be favored to win this match, but I have quite a doubt that Rennes will fail to steal full points at home to Auxerre. I think betting the 0.75 handicap for Axuerre's advantage is a pretty good option even if the match ends in a draw for the two teams.
Auxerre current form is surely impressive, and they are having 9 points from last five games which are bringing them to 17th spot, and now they have chance for the pull out of the relegation zone which is going to be positive change for them in near future, but Rennes is also good team even their away form is not good, but they still can do better performance in this match for having better difference of points from Lille which is having just one points difference and if Rennes lost this match or have draw then surely they are going to catch them for this spot and Rennes can go out of the top race which is surely no ideal situation for them after giving the best performance in this season for many weeks.
1036  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: March 08, 2023, 09:38:43 PM
Bayern increased the pressure in the second half and as a result scored two goals, but one was canceled due to offside. With a little more than half an hour left in the match, I doubt very much that PSG will have enough time to rectify the situation.

Bayern are clearly stronger than PSG, despite the stellar squad, neither Messi nor Mbappe could help their team. But if you look at the statistics, you might think that two equal teams are playing.

I expected a more meaningful game from Tottenham, but it looks like everything is going to the fact that Milan will be able to keep this draw and continue their way to the Champions League in the 1/4 finals.
Now, after 70th minute game things are completely under control of Bayern Munich because they are already having 2 - 0 on aggregate and PSG is nowhere near to score their first goal of this round which mean another disjointed end for them in Champions League, and we are going to have drastic changes in PSG setup as well for the next season because PSG management having dream of winning this big European event and nothing positive happening for them in last one decade even they are already spent more than any other big club in Europe so this time again they are down and out without anything positive which is not acceptable for them and this is going to be not good.
1037  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: March 08, 2023, 06:01:01 PM
AS Roma still have serious problems, especially on their front lines, that's what makes me a little unsure about them. Real Sociedad is having a better performance when compared to their performance last season. This match will be very difficult to predict because the strength of the two clubs can be said to be balanced now, maybe it is true that they will play with a draw in the first leg, especially since they have never met before, as far as I can remember. So they will study the club's strengths in this first leg and in the second leg they will play by exploiting the weaknesses of the opposing team that they have learned in this match.
This is surely going to be match of this round as both quality teams from top European Leagues are going to fight for their spot into quarterfinal which is surely going to be challenging AS Roma is currently at the third spot in Serie A and Real Sociedad is also at fourth spot which mean both are doing good and have to do better than current level if they want to stay for the title race in this season Real Sociedad was doing good in last few matches they are surely poor and losing their momentum which is concern for them and if they want to have better result then surely they have to regroup themselves otherwise AS Roma is surely quality team and their recent form in domestic league is improved which is good here I have feeling in first league Roma is going to win this match, and then we will have heated second leg match at Spain.

So use a VPN, to access cryptocurrency exchanges that are located in other countries. This can help you bypass the restrictions and trade cryptocurrencies more freely.
But don't forget, even if cryptocurrency trading is not illegal in your country, you may still be required to pay taxes on any profits you make. Be sure to understand your tax obligations and keep accurate records of your transactions.
VPN isn't a good way to hide your internet connection, because the VPN you used know your real location and they might share it to your government. Anyway any centralized exchanges do not allow to use VPN otherwise your account will be flagged and you need to provide your KYC.

Well @OP isn't talking about how to evade from taxation, he's asking a way to trade Bitcoin in illegal countries, so it's off topic to discuss about tax.
It's not the internet connection is the one that VPN hides but it was his country which are tied to an IP address. VPN changes our IP/country actually (not hiding it) so that we can now access those restricted websites. There are other ways of doing it and not just via a VPN. VPN isn't the best but others can be difficult to perform for a regular individual.

There are still good kinds of VPN out there or the ones which are premium/paid. This ensures that they are not hiding anything from us. I think there are CEX which are not strict and can allow VPN's but in order to be sure about it, let us always make it a habit to read their terms and conditions page.
1039  Economy / Economics / Re: Why is Inflation Happening All Over the World At Once? on: March 07, 2023, 05:36:15 PM
Why does it feel like the global economy is going through a downturn? Maybe due to the inaptitude of leaders and misguided policies! It's outrageous how narrow-minded decisions can have such extensive consequences. Rather than prioritizing the long-term well-being of their economies, leaders are too often focused on short-term gains and political maneuvering.

The worst part is that average citizens suffer the most. Inflation has a greater impact on the poorest, and soaring food prices and low savings rates can lead to significant difficulties. It's high time for leaders to set aside their egos and work for the benefit of their people, before it's too late. And I never trust the government will do that. I will buy bitcoin instead
It's not only about how bad or good their leaders are because why the problem happens in all countries and not just on the countries that has a bad leaders? An economic downturn might only be a natural problem. It could not be 100% avoided but there are measures that can do in order to survive it.

For inflations, I know that Bitcoin is one of the best solutions for this. There are some leaders who are not patient enough and they focus on the short-term ideas first but I think once they proved that it wasn't really beneficial, that would be the time that they will change their approach and try long-term plans this time. We should be calm and wait for it.

Freiburg seems to have lost its momentum. A draw is too little. They have not played at the level expected of them in recent weeks. The chasers are getting closer slowly  and if Freiburg does not win the next games it will be hard for them to keep place 5 or 6. They have to win their next two games. They should be able to do that against Hoffenheim. And  a win against Mainz would be important to keep them at distance.
Yes, Freiburg has experienced a decline in performance so it is difficult for them to be in the ranking that will put them in the Champions League. I don't rule out their chances of getting to that place, but they have to continue to be able to make themselves better and not lose a lot of points every week. They need to fix what is the problem in their squad, so they can improve their performance to be in a better place.
There is no doubt about Freiburg but here I have to add few more things about this it's not alone Freiburg if you are able to check all teams which are currently at the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th spots losing their momentum and have decline in performance as well which is surely going to hurt them with few teams which are trying their best for having better spot until end of this season can spoil them which is currently not easy but still possible Mainz and Leverkusen both are doing good job which is good sign in league table but still we have good matches which can change the table, and we can surely expect something which is unusual because soccer is game of surprises and shocks and any result is possible in any league and match.
